2016 Hall of Fame Program De La Salle High School An Evening of Honor: Celebrating the Athletic Hall of Fame and Distinguished Alumnus of the Year 2 0 1 6 Induction Ceremony Honorees JOHN D. BAKER ’99 MIKE A. GIBSON ’87 MICHAEL F. HURLBUT ’98 JONNY P. TUCKER ’01 GENOS DERWIN “D.J.” WILLIAMS '00 1998 FOOTBALL TEAM 1997 SWIMMING & DIVING TEAM Distinguished Alumnus of the Year CHRISTOPHER J. CRESPI ’81 A Message from the President As President of De La Salle High School and as an alumnus, I feel a special regard for the honorees whom we welcome today. There is our Distinguished Alumnus of the Year, and there are those entering the Athletic Hall of Fame. And all of these people, who are so dear to us, share certain admirable traits. They have all taken the gifts that God has given them and have used them in service to this community. The student-athletes whom we honor today, both as individuals and as teams, are a prime example. Young as they were, they took on the challenge of being a Spartan, the challenge of not being just good and skilled, but of being responsible and accountable, to their class- mates and teammates, and to their coaches and teachers. They didn’t just shine in athletic competition; they integrated their entire person into the process of their Catholic, Lasallian education. They grew as individuals and students, and they have grown into the men we see today. The Hall of Fame is also a place where the great mentors and supporters of our student-athletes are honored. I want to offer our enduring gratitude also to all of those who nur- ture and support our students in their quest to grow and to excel—all of the coaches, teachers, mentors, supporters, and parents who are committed to our Mission. We say that this school is committed to developing Men of Faith, Integrity, and Scholarship. Today we see the results of that commitment, as we celebrate a fine group of Spartan alumni for the men and woman they have become and the contributions they have made. They thrilled us with their athletic accomplishments in years past, and they truly honor us with their presence today. We are privileged to enshrine all of today’s inductees in our Hall of Fame. Mark DeMarco ’78 President Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award Recipients Each year, De La Salle High School celebrates and recognizes a Spartan alumnus for his efforts to be a Man of Faith, a Man of Scholarship, and a Man of Integrity.

  • The Idea of India for Whom the Buzzer Tolls
    september 2006 Newsletter The Idea of India For Whom the Buzzer Tolls Paul Chapman, Head of School Greetings from New Board Chair Robert Stein We are close to that exquisite moment in late August when the new school year begins. With the possible exception of some quaint provincial “school houses” in rural Wyoming or rustic Maine, the annual ritual no longer starts with a bell, but rather with the synchronization of electric buzzers in school rooms in tens of thousands of schools across the country. Kindergartners, truly the “new kids,” are primed for weeks or months, and stand anxiously at the school door, looking forward, sideways and backwards simultaneously, taking cues from their parents who are sometimes equally anxious.
